Picking up five years where Always 2 left off, Always '64 depicts another turning point in the lives of Third Street, including the family of Suzuki Auto, aspiring fantasy writer/storeowner Chagawa, his wife Hiromi, and his adopted son Junnosuke. By setting the film during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Takashi and co-writer Kosawa Ryota once again take the chance to show off state-of-the-art special effects with an impressive recreation of 1964 Tokyo while telling a moving story about familial bond, following your dreams, and the importance of having good neighbors.

Like his character in Peak - The Rescuers, Oguri Shun also had to climb mountains and even get over his fear of heights as part of his training to play his character, a kind volunteer rescuer who has climbed mountains all over the world.

Xiao Xue Guan Flowers (Blu-ray) (Japan Version)

Rp 674.000

Japanese ensemble drama Flowers brings together one of the most star-studded lead female cast in contemporary Japanese cinema: Nakama Yukie, Tanaka Rena, Takeuchi Yuko, Aoi Yu, Suzuki Kyoka, and Hirosue Ryoko. The idea for this project came when the six actresses were hired to be in a series of ads for a popular Japanese shampoo, sparking the idea to put all six actresses in a film that touts the ad's theme of showcasing Japanese beauties. The ads' creative director Onuki Takuya, one of the most respected advertising creative directors in Japan, serves as the production supervisor of the film. However, Flowers is far from a shampoo advertisement, as the film, directed by Koizumi Nobuhiro (Midnight Sun), is actually a generations-spanning ensemble film starring the six actresses as Japanese women of different eras facing problems that generations of Japanese women encountered through the last century. To convincingly convey the different eras, Koizumi brilliantly recreates the cinematic style of films from the respective periods, ranging from the black-and-white styles of Ozu Yasujiro to the polished colors of contemporary commercial films. With beautiful images and heartwarming stories, Flowers is an elegant display of the best actresses Japanese cinema has to offer today.

Flowers open in 1936 with the story of Rin (Aoi Yu), an aspiring writer being forced by her overbearing father to marry someone she doesn't love. With little choice, she decides to run away from home. Meanwhile, Kaoru (Takeuchi Yuko) goes out on a day at the seaside with her loving husband in 1964, though the day means more to her than just another day out. In 1969, tough-as-nails Midori (Tanaka Rena) tries to make it in her publishing house job despite her misogynistic co-workers and a slow-working author, though she finds herself at the crossroads when a suitor asks for her hand in marriage. A few years later, Sato (Nakama Yukie) is a woman on the verge of making a life-and-death choice that will change her family forever. The consequences of her choice continues to be felt in 2009, when sisters Kana (Suzuki Kyoka) and Kei (Hirosue Ryoko) reunite at a family funeral.

Blu-ray Edition comes with interviews with the six lead actresses, as well as various promotional materials.

He's done gangster action, superhero adventures, Spaghetti Westerns, and even children's films. Now, prolific Japanese director Miike Takashi takes on his first period swordplay epic with 13 Assassins, the remake of the 1963 Kodo Eiichi film of the same name. The film reunites Miike with screenwriter Tengan Daisuke (director Imamura Shohei's son and a director in his own right) for the third time after Audition and Imprint, and the result is their most audience-friendly collaboration yet. Working with a bigger budget and a star-studded cast led by Yakusho Koji (Shall We Dance), Yamada Takayuki (Crows Zero), Iseya Yusuke (Sukiyaki Western Django), and Ichimura Masachika, Miike takes a straightforward approach to his remake, delivering entertaining swordplay thrills reminiscent of the genre's most beloved films. Miike even outdoes the original film's 30-minute action-packed climax (which held the record for the longest action climax in a film of the genre) with a rousing 45-minute finale that earned cheers from audiences all over the world and four grand prizes at the Japan Academy Awards.

In a time of peace, the shogun's sadistic brother Naritsugu (SMAP's Inagaki Goro) goes on a killing spree in the course of his rise to power.

Despite being outnumbered by Naritsugu's bodyguards - led by Hanbei (Ichimura Masachika), the band of heroic samurais have assembled an intricate plan that will lead to the greatest battle of their lives.

Sweeping 3.5 billion yen at the box office and 12 trophies at the Japan Academy Awards, Yamazaki Takashi's nostalgic blockbuster Always - Sunset on Third Street was the runaway winner of 2005. The cast and crew return to even greater acclaim and box office in 2007 with Always - Sunset on Third Street 2. Based on Saigan Ryohei's popular manga, Always 2 picks up the story shortly after the events of the first film, returning to the bustling lives of the residents of Third Street as they carve out their own small worlds in 1959 Japan. The film has the same winning formula of heartwarming drama and stunning CGI, recreating the sights, sounds, and sentiments of 1950s Japan with crowd-pleasing precision. The second time around, the characters feel like old friends thanks to great performances from the returning cast of Tsutsumi Shinichi, Yakushimaru Hiroko, Horikita Maki (Hanazakari no Kimitachi e), Koyuki (The Last Samurai), child actor Suga Kenta, and of course Yoshioka Hidetaka, who won his second Best Actor trophy at the 2008 Japan Academy Awards with the same role.

Bad-tempered, but soft-hearted garage owner Suzuki (Tsutsumi Shinichi) isn't any closer to becoming the next Toyota, though country girl Roku (Horikita Maki) is shaping up to be a great mechanic, and attracting some romantic attention, too. Suzuki's family of four plays host to seven-year-old relative Mika (Koike Ayame), but the spoiled city girl is less than impressed with their humble living conditions. Across the lane, struggling writer Chagawa Ryunosuke (Yoshioka Hidetaka) wants to prove himself to adopted son Junnosuke (Suga Kenta) and romantic interest Hiromi (Koyuki). Desperately holding on to his makeshift family and fading dreams, Chagawa is aiming for nothing less than the Akutagawa Prize with his great Japanese novel - and all his neighbors seem to be in it somehow. The frustrating process and financial worries, however, are more likely to push him to the end of the road than great literary fame.

He's a doctor who spends his days caring for his patients' health, but is he able to care for himself? Based on a popular award-winning novel by a real-life doctor, In His Chart is a touching human drama about the human side of healthcare. Arashi's Sakurai Sho stars as a caring small-town doctor who has to choose between sacrificing his time to continue his brand of personal medical care or sacrifice his small-town clinic job to devote more time to his loving wife, played by Miyazaki Aoi (Solanin). A socially relevant tearjerker, In His Chart highlights the shortage of medical professionals in rural Japan (an especially serious problem in a country with an aging population) while telling an inspiring story about an unsung hero who dedicates his own life to save the lives of others.

Kuriharai Ichito (Sakurai Sho) is a physician working in a small clinic in Nagano Prefecture. Due to the shortage of doctors and a high demand for healthcare, Ichito has so little time that he is forced to work for three days without sleep. When he is offered a job at a major university hospital, Ichito finds himself conflicted between his two duties. While he doesn't want to make the staff shortage at his clinic worse, going to the hospital would allow him to spend more time with his loving wife Haru (Miyazaki Aoi). As he considers his future, he finds a revelation in his medical chart, filled with personal observations and concerns about each of his patients.

This quirky tale of teenage rebellion has gone on to become a surprise hit with audiences not only in Japan, but around the world!
